U. S. Grant. Letter no. Thirty-five. The Comte de Paris wrote to me about this time asking for information in regard to the surrender of Vicksburg. General Pemberton, the rebel commander at Vicksburg, had published an account of that event very different from mine, which I had obtained from Grant, and the Comte had asked eral Grant, who wrote as follows on the back of another letter he was sending to me. To General A. Badeau, U. S. Consul General, London, Eng. I return Pemberton's letter.

Believe me, my dear General, Yours Truly, L. P. D. Orleans, Comte de Paris. No. Fifteen. General Grant to J. H. Work, Esq. Mr. Work had a copy of my Military History of Grant especially bound for his library, and ask
